The Fascinating Danakil depression is one of the hottest Place on earth, with many points the altitude accounts more than 100 meters below Sea level and noontime temperatures Soaring above 122 0 F .

 

It is an area of controlling seismic activity, with earth tremors frequently felt amidst the hot yellow sulfur fields and several still – active volcanoes. Availing yourself at the Dankil depression seem to be finding yourself some where in the other planet – out of earth.

 

The Landscape here seems carved from the infernos of hell and is a reminder of the past and present furies that have ravaged this region, with volcanic cones rising above the scabs of black lava; Amazingly, there is also wild life to be seen here, particularly zebra and wild ass.

 

At Hadar, on the boulder-strewn volcanic floor of the Great Rift Valley, a breathtaking archeological discovery was made in 1974: a complete hominid skeleton at least 3.5 million years old-humankind?s oldest known ancestor.
